ScyllaDB, the database for predictable performance at scale, is introducing ScyllaDB X Cloud, a fully managed database-as-a-service that offers an elastic cloud database with the industry’s best price performance.
ScyllaDB’s new tablets data replication architecture enables teams to scale their databases as rapidly as they can scale their infrastructure, according to the company.
This is ideal for high intraday traffic variations (e.g., delivery and social media), unpredictable surges in demand, or major events of unknown scope (e.g., sporting events or Black Friday).
Also, ScyllaDB X Cloud lets teams safely run at 90% storage utilization—a level that was previously considered “living too close to the edge.” This translates to fewer underlying servers and substantial infrastructure cost savings, the company said.
“The databases powering today’s data-intensive applications need to rapidly scale and shrink as millions of users access them,” said ScyllaDB co-founder and CEO Dor Laor. “Teams are often forced to overprovision their cloud databases to meet bursty or unpredictable demand. With ScyllaDB X Cloud, you just target the steady state and rapidly scale out with Flex Credit when needed. This lets organizations provide real-time experiences with dramatically lower costs.”
ScyllaDB X Cloud features include:
- 90% storage utilization, so users can squeeze more power from their infrastructure
- “Just in time” auto scaling, reducing the need for overprovisioning
- Support for mixed instance clusters, eliminating complex capacity planning and allowing capacity adjustments with high precision
- Flex Credit provides customers the flexibility of On-Demand pricing with the cost advantage that comes from an annual commitment
- Up to 3X better compression, reducing network costs and storage usage
- Up to 25X faster data streaming with almost 3X less data sent across the network
- Support for the new AWS i7ie cloud instances
- BYOA on Google Cloud (coming soon)
